It's been 16 years and I haven't APPLIED or put into action with what I've read. You name it, I've read them all. The main reason I'm AWAKE now is because I am 40 years old, married, and with a beautiful fun loving 4 year old daughter. It's obviously not just about me anymore (not that I really cared about myself to begin with). Family is my foremost passion now, and I am willing to go the SUPER-lane if given the opportunity. I initially came across MJ's testimony MJ DeMarco*|* My Story (via Amazon) while checking out the Self-Help category. Needless-to-say, I completely empathized and related to his background, with the exception of MJ's drive and achievements. I just take immense interest in stories like MJ's. However, this time around it is absolutely vital to make action. My only motto (confidence being a given):

The past cannot be changed. However, the future depends on the present. Map out objectives and immediately put it into action. Perfection will manifest only after many imperfections. Moreover, Careful-Critical-Calculated proactive efforts will get us there more rapidly and with far less challenges.

Posses all of the 5 "D's": Desire, Direction, Discipline, Diligence, & Dedication. And continue to Observe... Absorb... Learn... Understand... Know... Experiment... Practice... Teach...

The motto was possible by the way of mesh mashing various Self-Help articles, and I copied and pasted this from my private blog. Anyways, before I get carried away with quotes and references, I should state that I would like to think that I can relate to those that say they are a creative visionary desiring to express and transform life experiences into something redemptive, universal, and valuable through digital media. By the way, referencing most of that from a Carl Jung Enneagram book. Basically, to BE some kind of digital media artist is NOT the intention. But rather, I want to create anything worthwhile and enjoyable interdependently. I am so glad to be here and hopefully spread some contagious entrepreneur joy. So let's get cracking!

Cheers!
